Public Enemy #1 in Charlotte: Bloomberg’s Hans Nichols

Bloomberg reporter Hans Nichols loves to make new friends wherever he goes. This week in Charlotte he’s warming up to cops helping to reinforce convention security by making them look as stupid as possible.

The intrepid Nichols quickly put two and two together and figured out that police brought in to assist with crowd control are struggling with basic geography. Strangely, they have no earthly idea where the convention center is, even when standing a block away.

At one point he wonders whether an officer’s horse knows where the convention center is.

“Those guys might be good at crowd control – but not very good at directions,” smirked Nichols, who created a video for Bloomberg TV and who may not be laughing when they start posting his picture with a big, fat red x through it.
